Cloutier Takes the Lead
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
James Cloutier led out for 20,000 from middle position on the 10♥3♠10♦ flop, and Kazi Hossain made the call in the cutoff.
Cloutier checked the Q♣ turn, sliding in a call after Hossain fired 75,000. Another check from Cloutier followed the 6♠ river, and Hossain took some time before betting 270,000.
That represented most of Cloutier's remaining stack, as he counted his chips before opting to make the call.
"You got it," said Hossain as he held his cards out. Cloutier showed 8♠8♥ for two pair, earning a big pot right before break as Hossain mucked.
